Speed limit at federal and state roads reduced for Raya

The works ministry has announced that speed limits on federal and state roads will be reduced in conjunction with national road safety campaign during the Hari Raya festivities.

Beginning this Friday (June 8), the speed limit at federal roads will be lowered from 90 km/h to 80 km/h while at state roads, it will be reduced from 80 km/h to 70 km/h. These revisions will remain in place until June 22 and will be monitored via the ministry’s Op Bersepadu.

“We will issue a directive to the Public Works Department’s (JKR) road maintenance facility division to change the speed limit signboard along these two type of roads. This is to avoid confusion among road users who will use federal roads and state roads during the festive seasons,” the ministry said in an official statement.

Originating from the corporate world with a background in finance and economics, Gerard’s strong love for cars led him to take the plunge into the automotive media industry. It was only then did he realise that there are more things to a car than just horsepower count.

I believe government should develop more efficient public transportation system in order to reduce the number of fatal accidents in Malaysia. At the same time it can reduce traffic congestion in Malaysia too. It’s time Malaysia to be developed country already, come on Malaysia do something.

Gustavo Petro once said, ‘A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It’s where the rich use public transportation.’

slower speed on highway = more jam = sleepy driver = encourage more road hogger on right lane = bodoh policy
better rename the highways to lowways. Fed up have to use the slow lane to pass the “law abiden” slow cars in fast lanes. motherfoolkers!

Don’t know about the cause of the accident but LPT have some road surface uneven and noisy issue as i know the related parties still trying to improve it all the time. Speed limit should be put on those stretch that only required it or else no one going to follow the stupid non sense too low speed limit including the enforcement offier themselves.

Slower speed leads to more jam?
Actual the reverse is true. Jam leads to slower speed

Slower speed = sleepy?
Sleepy does not have any linkage to speed. If you feel sleepy, means that you don’t have enough sleep or you are tired.

Slower speed = hogging on the right lane?
Well, the meaning of hogging is very subjective. If you are impatient of following a car which is overtaking at the speed you don’t feel comfortable, it is not hogging. If the car in front is slowly driven because there are cars piling upfront, it is not hogging. Hogging applies when the car is driven at lower speed at wide open third lane, with no vehicle obstruction in front. During Raya time, this type of situation seldom occurs.

What the Malaysian Drivers have to learn is the words “PATIENCE” and “COOL DOWN”

You know how highways in 2020 should look like in Malaysia. All handsome and pretty Malaysians should be driving 130~200km/h in good cars on superb quality highways balik kampung celebrating raya.
This is what we call progress.
If you are tree hugger go hug a tree and take public transport.
if you are slowpoke please use the slow lane and enjoy your “80km” speed and dig your nose elegantly. sekian

but c’mon lah guys (especially john), it’s only been 28 days since mahathir got won the elections. give him a chance.

what do you think? do you think that after mahathir got reelected suddenly malaysia becomes an economic superpower? suddenly everyone got a high amount of income is it? suddenly our poverty rate drops to 0%?

Let me ask u this, and since the country is partisan only the markets think with their heads. So if Uturn gov is so dem fine and dandy, why did the logically thinking market cabut lari as soon as they can (and they still continue to do)?

They forecasted what will happen in the future and they din like the ending. What more can I say except, haih macam apa lagi.

in the first sentence i literally said that there are some stupid decisions being made the government.

i’m saying that every single government has it’s flaws and ours is definitely flawed.
and it’s not even a month has passed yet since PKR got elected and y’all are already complaining about how bad the government is.

that’s like saying a newborn baby needs to be thrown out right away right just because it’s stubborn.

Fast Speed does not kill. Slow speed does. Because when you drive fast you will be and are alert. Unless you are a kopi licence driver. When you drive slow you then to retard your thinking and alertness, thus loosing concentration or dose off. Some people drive so inconsiderately slow that they become a hazard to the drivers behind. Driving fast will clear the traffic faster on highways while driving slow will a pileup or jam up. Like a drain, if the water flows through fast, the rubbish in it will clear out fast. But when the flow is slow, the rubbish will accumulate thus retarding the flow and chocking the drain. It is criteria to drive fast so as to clear the traffic faster, so as not to jam up the road and highways.
